Key Points

  • Meta refresh tag: Automatically redirects users after a few seconds, often no longer needed on modern websites.

  • Solution:

    • On hosted platforms like Squarespace or Wix, contact support.

    • On WordPress, duplicate or recreate the page to remove the meta refresh tag.

      • If that doesn’t resolve the issue, contact your website developer.

    • Ensure the URL remains the same after resolving the issue.

    • Final option: If unresolved, send the URL to me for further assistance.
